Starting Air Compressor · Compressors
The Sauer WP 251L is a water‑cooled two‑stage main air compressor delivering up to 30 bar, intended for shipboard pneumatic and safety systems. As a Main Air Compressor (30 bar), it is normally installed in the engine room, compressor room, cargo machinery space or refrigeration plant according to the listed duty. In that role, its primary purpose is to compress air, refrigerant or process gas for the shipboard service identified by the category. Starting-air, service-air, refrigeration and cargo-gas compressors differ in medium, sealing and protection, but all depend on sound compression elements, cooling, lubrication and controls. Power: 30 kW; capacity: 100 m3/h (FAD). For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
